Our Mission & Values
Since its founding in 2005, CLUB ECOLE PYRENEES ARIEGEOISES FOOTBALL has been dedicated to nurturing young talent in the Ariège region through structured training, community involvement, and promoting values like teamwork, discipline, and inclusion. Our goal is to foster personal growth, healthy lifestyles, and a lifelong love for football among youth, making a positive impact on the community. 
The core mission of Club École Pyrénées Ariégeoises Football (RNA: W091002462) is to bridge the gap between grassroots passion and structured athletic excellence for the youth of the Ariège valley. We provide a professionalized training environment for young licensees from U6-U7 through to U18-U19, using the pitch as a classroom for life. By centralizing resources at the Maison des Associations Espace Sabart under SIREN 843 050 394, we ensure that every child in the 09400 sector has access to high-quality coaching and a supportive community, regardless of their background. Our goal is to empower players to reach their maximum potential as athletes while fostering the personal integrity and discipline required to succeed far beyond the football field.
Our Vision: A Unified Future for Football in the Pyrenees Ariégeoises
We envision CEPAF as the premier benchmark for youth sports in the Pyrenees, creating a sustainable pathway that preserves the heritage of local village clubs while elevating competitive standards. Since our registration as an Association déclarée in 2018, we have worked to build a sporting ecosystem where the Ariège region is recognized for producing resilient, technically proficient players. By modernizing our pedagogical approach and strengthening the synergy between partner organizations, we aim to remain a vital regional institution that inspires local pride, promotes healthy lifestyles, and attracts talent from across the entire department.
Our Values: The Pillars of Integrity, Solidarity, and Growth
At the heart of our organization lie the values of Integrity, Solidarity, and a Growth Mindset. We instill a deep sense of discipline and respect—for referees, opponents, and the collective team effort—ensuring that “amateur” football is always practiced with professional rigor. Our commitment to solidarity promotes cooperation over competition between neighboring towns, making the Pyrenees Ariégeoises stronger together. By adhering to the standards of the Convention collective nationale du sport (IDCC 2511), we nurture a mindset where challenges are viewed as opportunities, preparing our youth to be responsible, resilient citizens who understand that true success is earned through persistence.
